Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master
Sometimes we do too much for other people, and not enough for ourselves, especially if it's not appreciated or it's how we are able to be supported which can lead to dysfunctional relationship patterns. I teach self-care techniques to clients so that they are able to focus more on themselves so they can effectively take care of others appropriately.
John Lee once said, "Recovery from codependency is like kicking heroin, only harder." Our need to please, to fix, to control can take us to the brink of insanity & drive everyone around us crazy, too! But we can learn new ways to think & feel about ourselves so we can step back from enmeshment.
It can be easy to get caught in unhealthy relationship patterns. Often codependency can be rooted in security and safety seeking for the individual . I will work with you to unpack the trauma or emotional injury that is causing harmful core beliefs, abandonment wounds, or trauma that can create codependent behaviors. Let's worth together to create new, healthier habits and beliefs about yourself and your relationships.
